Clase Azul unveils “A Ballad of Fire”: an exceptional cocktail to discover in Paris
Mexican house Clase Azul introduces its new signature cocktail “A Ballad of Fire” to Paris, exclusively at Café de l’Homme. An elegant tribute to tequila’s volcanic origins.
In the world of prestige spirits, Clase Azul México embodies a rare form of coherence between craftsmanship, taste excellence and culture. Founded in Guadalajara in 1997, the brand has made an international name for itself not only for its carefully crafted tequilas and mezcals, but also for its singular visual universe, each bottle a piece of ceramic art.
With “A Ballad of Fire”, Clase Azul takes a new step forward. This original cocktail celebrates Tequila Blanco Ahumado, a new creation with smoky, woody aromas. Presented exclusively at the Café de l’Homme in Paris, it combines power, subtlety and a refined aesthetic.
A bold, poetic composition
The cocktail is based on a recipe built around the intensity of fire and the sweetness of fruit. It features 45 ml Blanco Ahumado Tequila, 30 ml agave syrup, 15 ml Lillet, 22.5 ml lemon juice, and a few drops of plum bitters. The whole is shaken, double-filtered and served with a slice of dehydrated red apple.
This visual detail is not insignificant: it echoes the red earth of the Jalisco region, shaped by volcanism. The plum particles suspended in the glass also evoke this mineral richness.
The result is smoky, fruity and structured, a masterful blend of Mexican tradition and contemporary mixology. Served in a setting as iconic as the Café de l’Homme, facing the Eiffel Tower, this cocktail is part of acomplete sensory experience, combining decor, flavors and storytelling.
Paris as an international stage for liquid luxury
This Paris launch is no coincidence. As a city of gastronomy and trends, Paris is becoming a privileged expression ground for premium spirits brands like Clase Azul. With this exclusive presence, the Mexican company reinforces its high-end positioning in Europe, and targets a demanding Parisian public, curious about discoveries and sensitive to the origin of its products.
